If you asked all the foodies in town where they would go to sop up a hangover, the overwhelming response would be Au Cheval. Brunch here has gained a serious cult following, which just proves the old adage that no matter how good a dish, it’s always better with a fried egg on top. The restaurant’s famous burger is available for brunch, alongside favorites like an outstanding English breakfast of bacon, eggs and beans. This isn’t some pretentious brunch fête; this is satisfying, gut-busting food, served with a side of hash browns.
